A letter writer, evidently more used
to mud than rocks, better trained to wade
through sands than climb the mountains,
worn ont, hungry, and ill humored,
thus SANDERS the Svannanoa in
the following parody. The letter is ad-
dressed to the Wilmington ReVieW, and
the maid of the mountain is thus traves-
tied:
Swannanoa, Swannanoa, flush and ugly,
! would curse thee in my rhyme;
Nastiest, muddiest little river
In our sunny, southern cline.
sSwannanoa, well they named thee,
In the cussed Indian tongue;
TFeacherous thou art, most truly,
And unworthy to be sung.
But We have seen the beauty in un-
amiable moods, as it is the right of beauty
to be.

Rockland's Boom.

A big syndicate of capitalists have just COM

part of Kockland on Jameson point and rum
ming back and including Juniper hill with an
elevation Of 225 feet. which affords fine view
Of sea and shore. The land will be opened up
to building by numerous roads laid out with
great care. On the extremity of Jameson point
hotel of 100 rooms to cost $4,000 will be
completed by July 1st, 1888. At the end OF
this point the national government is erecting a
big breakwater Of granite at a cost of nearly
100000, giving Kockland Il fine bay for boat
ing and fishing.

are known throughout the country arc Hon. A.
+. Crockett, Rockland, Gov. Bodwell, EX-GOv-

the dizzy brink In mute astonshment. A vast
cavity unsuspected from the outside, at least a
mile across, sank away at my feet. rock-ribbed,
ragged and torn along its percipitous sides.
Out of the oritice in its deep and dismal bot
tom, rose jets of steam, putting and blowing in
the dead air. workman who had wrought
in the crater told me that the .tumeros. or
steam-veats instead of being a foot in diam
eter, as they appeared, measured from II to IS
feet.
The vapor pouring out of these holes is
highly impregnated with sulphur. which is de-
posted on the rocks and in the soil, furnishing
an ineNhaustible supply of this valuable min
eral. The crane and rigging for lowering the
WOrkmen into this inferno consists of a strong
beam projecting few feet over the abyss !;
over n pulley in the end runs a long rope, with
a loop in the lower end. The person wishing
to descend stands in the loop, holds the rope in
one hand. and with the other manages stick
to protect himself from injury by swinging
against the rocks. Two poems let the rope run
slowly over the pulley, and the descent occn-
pies about fifteen minutes.
The bottom of the crater is covered with
scoriI, which glitters with various colors. In
one place is stone, so large that Il man can
stand upon it. which rises and falls as it feels
the effect of the subterrancan vapors. At the
lowest point is lake, the water of which has
an acid taste. The edge of the crater is com
posed of immense boulders of porphery and
basalt and one may descend some distance on
foot by an icy pathway leading downwards to
the huge rock which supports the mdidcnte or
machine for lowering the workmen.
Since the mountain has been giving out its
sulphurous breath for unnumbercd centuries.
the amount already existing is beyond cStima-
ton, and something like ton is daily deposit
cd. 1t would hardly be an cxaggeration to say
that the upper part of the mountain is an i'm
mcnse block of sulphur. inclo>ed in a shell of
rock a few yards thick. Three qualities Of
SllDhur are obtained bv the ODpratiOnS here
The best is almost chemically pure. and is OBJ
tanned at the resperados. or steam vents,
whence it issues in liquid state and hardenS
as ii cools. The other two qualities are known
to the trade as ''rich' and ''pure' sulphur ore.
The former yields from 81 to s. per cent. of
pure sulphur; the latter about 80 per cent.
The process used in its puriticaticn is that of
Michel. Distillaton takes place at TlamacaS in
half-cylndcrs which serve as retortS. One
who has stood upon the brink of that crater
can never forget the awful silence that broo is
over the scene of .leSoation.

As Il moral discipline of the SevercSt sort But
if, after six months 'ra>tlc" with the rural
newspaper and it~ appurtenance>. he emerse>
from it with unrui1lcd temper. or even without
chronic hatred of the ''human specie" as
Uncle Dick Philbrick called it. then there can
be no question that patience has done its per-
feet work in the heart of a child of grace.
Wheel Chair Spinnings in Boston Herald.
Thus wrote Mr.. Il. r. IIaines after six
Phonograph Mr.. IIaneS has had long and
valuable experience in daily newspaper Offices
and until physical inlirmitics restricted his
usefulness was of the most capable jour
nali>ts in the country. Now in his country
home, and from his wheel chair. he sends an
occasional column of brilliant paragraphs to
the Boston Herald. That the Phonograph un-
der his editorshp, was in the style of its
matter, editorial and local. far in advance of
the average country weekly must be admitted,
but Bro. IIaines did not find his pathway strewn
with roses, and the unaccustomed thorns which
beSct the rural editor, but from which the
city journalist is free, We're too much for
him. This is not surprising to those who have
in some degree shared his experiences. The
work on the great daes is systematized and
each man has his allotted duties, and no care
or responsibilities outside of those duties. The
country editor, on the other hand, has not only
all the details of his paper to attend to or di-
rect, but has a more immediate responsibility
to those he addresses and is held to Il strcter
accountability for what he says in print. This,
with the narrow field to which he looks for
support, often leads him to be silent when the
public good calls for aggressive warfare on no.
torious evils. This and other things Brother
Iiaines no doubt learned in his brief role as a
country editor, and now in the seclusion of his
"Pondtown" home as he pcruscs the papers of
his late contemporaries he will charitably pass
their imperfections by.

Food for Thought.

American workingmen will find food for
thought in this sentence clipped from the re-
port of the Secretary of the British Working
mems Association:
l have come to the conclusion that there are only
two courses left open to the aboring classes Of
Great Britain. One is to get protection at home,
the other to go to some English speaking country
where they have got protection.
Prior to preparing his report the Secretary
made thorough examination of our protect
i've system. lie found our working people
occupying much more advantageous posi-
tic, and not being handicapped by Utopian
theories, this representative workingman under
the English system of free trade has the good
sense to point out to his brother workingmen
the advantages of a properly conducted pro-
tective system. Portland Evening Express
